Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 3

Beginner Level

In this class, learners will be taught the basics of cursive handwriting. They will learn how to hold the pen and/or pencil comfortably to produce legible letter formations. They will learn how to connect the letters of their name, while focusing on the position of each letter on the lined paper. Slanting the paper to the right or left is also important and will be determined based on the dominant hand of the learner. By the end of the class the learners will be able to confidently write their full name and signature in cursive.

The class covers foundational cursive strokes, individual letters, letter connections, and culminates with two handwriting projects.
